Welcome to Litsy!

#Celebration makes me think of food, which made me think of Kinsella's novel because its title was influenced by Nigella Lawson's cookbook.

Picture shows German edition I intend to give to a friend this Yule. The title translates to Goddess in Wellingtons.

I absolutely loved this book and didn't want it to end. Had me literally laughing out loud at times. A very witty, charming read.
Book 13/20 for #bfcr4

Started and got lost in the book do far this evening. A quarter of a way through it already. It's light hearted and funny and a refreshing change from the graphic books I've read recently ❤ Samantha is the complete opposite to me 😂

The best kind of Chick Lit there is- a hilarious story with a bunch of awkward moments as well as sexual tension.

It's #Hour18 on the #24in48 #readathon.

The first English language romance I read was Outlander. A friend had talked me into it. That was 20+ years ago. I used to read a lot of crime/thriller/murder mystery, but have gradually shifted towards romance and historical romance over those two decades.

Nowadays I seem to read more romance than any other genre. Guess I like to see/read other people falling in love.

3.5⭐️. Perfect summertime read! Quick & fun!

Starting a new audiobook as I continue on with the #24B4Monday Readathon. This book wasn‘t originally in my proposed stack but had it in my audible library for quite some time.
My total so far is 12 hours 59 minutes.

😍 This has to be one of my top Sophie Kinsella reads , I loved it , if your looking for an easy girlie read that will make you giggle I highly recommend

A cute book. Nothing heavy and nothing serious. I wasn‘t crazy about the ending- it was a bit too unrealistic and self centered. But a good listen while I worked in my first paint by number.

At 24.5 miles this week, I met my #BFC fitness goal of walking/running a combined minimum of 20 miles each week. Bitsy walked/ran all of these miles with me. ❤️

I‘m killing my sleep goal! 😂

I listened to the tagged audiobook while walking.

#bookfitnesschallenge

Too many heavy feels this week, so I'm reading something fun and fluffy!

Another day, another #bookhaul. I seriously have a problem.

I‘m out of shelf space (again) and out of space for shelves. 😭

The Fool

I took a picture of the German edition of the tagged book, I gave away the English edition some years ago.

The MC of this Kinsella rom-com is a perfect example of the fool. She runs away from her life as a lawyer, starting work as a housekeeper without knowing anything about housekeeping. But she's a fast learner. She also meets the right guy for a passionate new start.

Loved it keeps you wondering are they on are they off no Sam don't go back on your word , do what's in your heart put yourself first got to. Make life what u want it to be
Very good book ,

I always enjoy Sophie Kinsella! This was another cute one by her 😍

Another great read from Sophie Kinsella. I loved this book. It has the perfect amount of fun, drama, and romance. The ending was everything i hoped for, too. 4.5/5 stars for this one.

“Don't beat yourself up for not knowing the answers. You don't always have to know who you are. You don't have to have the big picture, or know where you're heading. Sometimes, it's enough just to know what you're going to do next.”

It took me a while to get into this one and the first half is a bit cringey and forced, but it got better. By the end you really find yourself rooting for Samantha to choose the right life.

Unfortunately, I disliked this book. I‘ve read a few other Kinsella books and enjoyed them. This one had its moments and made me laugh. But I thought the premise was highly unbelievable and the ending was myopic. Not for me.

As usual with Kinsella, I had a hard time putting this one down. I found it amusing and perfectly entertaining but also a bit tedious. I wish it hadn‘t dragged on quite so long.

I love all of Sophie Kinsella's books, but this might be my favorite.
The first scene introducing the main character is the funny description of the main character texting while getting a massage. She is a total overachiever who gets fired and through a series of misunderstandings gets hired as someone's housekeeper. Has one of the hottest, sex scenes without being gratuitously graphic. Great ending too.

Comic Relief for the Soul (And the ebooks are on sale atm! $1.99 down from $11.99).

It‘s not sci-fi or fantasy, but there‘s a method to the madness. We‘ve all gone through reading slumps. When it happens to me, I take it as a sign that I need something different. Maybe I don‘t need another tense, harrowing plot. Maybe I need some old-fashioned comedy relief.

I caved with the Book Riot deals on Kindle today, then proceeded to download other Kindle Daily Deals. I had previously purchased Circe, but the other “new” titles are today‘s impulse buys.

For someone who doesn‘t really like eBook reading, I‘ve been buying a lot of eBooks lately. And NetGalley stalking. Perhaps #BlameItOnLitsy ?

Hilarious! Reminds me of me in a way as I can't cook either. Was sad when it ended.

• The Undomestic Goddess introduces you to a workaholic lawyer Samantha Sweeting who ends up screwing something at work while she‘s expecting to be made partner in her law firm. She runs away from everything and ends up being a house keeper. IT IS A MUST READ GUYS !!

Another great, light hearted read!!! Kinsella is becoming one of my favorite authors. I love her characters...they're so relatable and endearing.

This is such a cute book. I can always turn to Sophie Kinsella to get me out of a reading slump!

I don't normally have insomnia. Just one more chapter "causes" insomnia.

My guilty pleasure for such #InsomniaReads is romance, I want to find out whether they get their HEA, more than I would want to find out who'd done it, in a murder mystery.

One pf my favourites that I reread almost every summer 😎 #sweetsummerstack Thanks for the chance to win, @Liberty !

This is a cute story about a #workaholic attorney who walks away from her high stress job and makes some discoveries about herself along the way. How many times have I dreamed about walking away from it all? More times than I can count!! 🙈#jubilantjuly

This is one of my favorites. Samantha is one of the all-time great #workaholics and I love her story of learning to slow down and make a change. I present to you my battered copy on my unmade bed with mismatched linens. I, too, am an undomestic goddess. #JubilantJuly

Not bad

Day 2 of #RiotGrams challenge: Yellow Books! It was fun plucking them off the shelves.

Can't sleep, so opting for more Sophie, whilst soothing British tv plays in the background.

Samantha Sweetings, a workaholic lawyer set for partnership in her law-firm, flees when she discovers that she has made a mistake that is about to cost her firm 50 million dollars. She ends up being hired as a housekeeper by an unsuspecting couple in Cotswold village, with hilarious consequences as she can't cook to save her life. As she begins to settle into her new life and finds love, her past catches up to her in the most unexpected manner.

#SpringBreak reads = light and breezy to me and I think Sophie Kinsella has some of the best and humor-packed books #MarchMadness

This book gave me a few laughs overall, and I felt the protagonist was well defined, but there were some inconsistencies that went beyond the silly and became frustrating and contradicting. I also felt the ending was a HUGE cliche, and very abrupt.

There is no such thing as the biggest mistake of your existence. There's no such thing as ruining your life. Life's a pretty resilient thing, it turns out.

"Six minutes isn't sex," I hear him saying as my eyes crash shut. "Six minutes is a boiled egg."
